Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 161 - The Fallen Phoenix Saintess

"Dad! Stop it! Don't be rude to our distinguished guest!" Tie Tang rushed to the fire pit, holding up the gold voucher in his hand and shouting, "This distinguished guest wants to buy the naming rights of our courtyard and the Iron Blood Sect for one million gold soul coins."

"Huh? What did you say? How much? One million? And in gold soul coins, that much?" Tie Li was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly apologized to Qian Lingyun: "This old man was arrogant and ignorant, and failed to recognize Qing Yise Yitiaolong. I have offended your distinguished guest, please forgive me!"

"That's right, that's right, we old men were blind and offended you!" Another Soul King elder bowed and flattered, "Senior, your beauty is truly unparalleled, surely you can forgive the unintentional mistake of us three old men!"

"This will not be repeated!"

Feeling that the flattery had gone quite well, Qian Lingyun lazily glanced at the amusing old men, then with a flick of her finger, she withdrew her soul skill.

The scorching flames dissipated, but the lingering heat in the air still left the three of them drenched in sweat.

"So you're the head of the family, right?! I'll buy this worthless courtyard of yours for one million gold soul coins, and while I'm at it, I'll also buy the Iron Blood Sect's reputation, how about it?"

"Spending so much money for this, don't you think... it's a waste?" Tie Li said nervously as he took the gold voucher from Tie Tang.

"This courtyard isn't very big, and its location is just average. Although it's in Tiandou City, it's not worth much money."

"Besides, our sect isn't very famous, and for just a name... this million is way too much for you."

Tie Li, being a seasoned veteran, knew the importance of not only having the life to take the money but also the life to spend it.

He knew that with his strength, taking that million gold soul coins was no different from a child hanging a gold platter in the marketplace. Rather than dying mysteriously one day, he might as well take this opportunity to find another way and sound out what the adults were thinking.

"Hahaha, interesting. You're the first one to complain that my offer is too high!" Qian Lingyun said with interest, taking out paper and pen and handing them to Tie Li. "Alright then! I'll give you a chance now. Here's paper and pen. Give me a price that you think is reasonable."

Tie Li took the paper and pen, stood there trembling for a while, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. Finally, he steeled himself and wrote down a number he thought was appropriate on the paper.

"Oh, you're quite honest! It's even less than I expected!" Qian Lingyun took the white paper, glanced at the number Tie Li had given her, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her cheerful laughter unleashed her flamboyant beauty without any attempt to hide it. She put down the paper and added another 100,000 to the number Tie Li had given her.

"Here, this is the money for buying your sect. You can use it to pack your things today. I'm moving in tomorrow afternoon, so you can move out tomorrow!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun got up and walked towards the door. Before leaving, she reminded him, "Make sure you clean up before you leave. I don't like messy houses."

Tie Li and the others quickly turned around, bowed towards Qian Lingyun's location, and shouted, "Please rest assured, we will definitely clean this place up before we leave!"

As the saying goes, when one has nothing to do, one might listen to music in a brothel.

That night, Qian Lingyun arrived at a famous street in Tiandou City. Relying on her lavish spending and her strong physique, she spent the whole night strolling from one end of the street to the other.

At dawn, she returned to her hotel, yawning.

After taking a short nap, she woke up in the evening. She quickly washed her face with water and went to the Iron Blood Sect.

At this moment, the vast Iron Blood Sect was completely empty, with only Tie Li and Tie Tang standing at the entrance, waiting for Qian Lingyun's arrival.

"Hehehe, sir, you've arrived."

Standing at the front, Tie Tang had a ruddy complexion. As soon as he saw Qian Lingyun, he rushed up to her, bowing and scraping. After all... who wouldn't like a boss who's generous with money!

"Where's the land deed?" Qian Lingyun asked, her face expressionless as she reached out her hand.

"Here it is! Here it is!" Tie Li stepped forward and handed Qian Lingyun a piece of parchment with an official seal engraved on it.

After glancing briefly at the land deed, Qian Lingyun relaxed somewhat. She took the key to the lock, opened the Iron Blood Sect's gate, and gestured with her lips, "The transaction is complete, you can leave now!"

With that, Qian Lingyun slammed the Iron Blood Sect's gate shut, leaving the father and son outside who happily left with the money.

What they didn't know was that Qian Lingyun indirectly saved their entire family's lives by buying this place! Because according to the original timeline, Tang Ya would soon storm in and turn Tie Li's family into nourishment for her leveling up.

Pushing open the door to the largest room in the Iron Blood Sect, Qian Lingyun released a burst of soul power to close the open door. The gray six-pointed star beneath her feet flashed, and she returned to the undead demiplane.

Several days have passed, and I still don't know what Mei Douluo and Ma Xiaotao are doing here.

After all, in Qian Lingyun's opinion... the Evil Flame can't last forever! Without the Evil Flame, Mei Douluo will probably use his manipulation skills on Ma Xiaotao until he completely fools her!

Who would have thought that after returning to the undead demiplane, Qian Lingyun was immediately startled by the melodious singing that echoed through the valley.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Lingyun walked into the valley with surprise and curiosity. Instantly, her eyes were drawn to the beautiful scenery before her.

It had only been a few days since they last met, but Ma Xiaotao's demeanor was already quite different from before. If she was a vibrant red rose brimming with youthful energy before, then she was now a mature and beautiful dahlia, blooming unrestrainedly with the beauty of life.

Meanwhile, Mei Douluo looked exhausted, appearing somewhat weary from such intense work.

You should know that she hasn't rested for so many days; she has been the one leading the work all along.

Upon seeing Qian Lingyun arrive, her expression changed slightly. She eagerly transmitted her voice, "Holy Maiden, you've finally arrived! My mission is complete; can I rest now?"

"What's going on here..." Qian Lingyun pointed to Ma Xiaotao, who was sitting on a rocking chair and swaying wildly, then looked at the 'Weapon Master' Mei Douluo and asked in a strained voice, "What's happening?"

"Nothing much, they just started showing up yesterday morning because they didn't want me to leave!"

As if to confirm what Mei Douluo had said, Ma Xiaotao stood up from the rocking chair, exhaled a few breaths from her red lips, patted her flushed cheeks, and stood in front of Mei Douluo.

"Fire Phoenix Saintess, didn't your evil fire subside long ago..." The Charming Douluo looked at Ma Xiaotao with a mixture of tears and hopelessness, thinking: [My succubus martial soul has finally met its match today. What a formidable evil fire phoenix! Even she's finding it difficult to withstand.]

Soon, Mei Douluo returned to work mode, wiping the water off her face with her arm.

It was the rainy season, and the pattering mountain spring water cascaded down, wetting a large area of ​​flat land below. Then, melodious mountain songs drifted up from the ground…
